What do you like best about BambooHR?

Two things I like the best:

Employee self-service: one of the great features is the employee self-service portal, allowing employees to access and update their information, request time off, and view their benefits. This reduces the administrative burden and empowers employees to manage their own data.

Onboarding and offboarding automation: BambooHR offer the ability yo automate both onboarding and offboarding processes. For onboarding, it provides customizable checklists, welcome emails, and automated task assignments to ensure new hires have a smooth start. Offboarding is equally streamlined with automated notifications, task tracking, and exit surveys to manage employee transitions effectively.

It's a real time saver! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

Custom approval flows: BambooHR lacks advanced customization options for approval workflows. We have a pretty unusual approval hierarchy and we find the default settings insufficient for our needs, as the software does not allow for extensive customization of approval processes.

Accrual of vacation days: the tool's handling of vacation day accruals can be restrictive, especially in countries with unique accrual rules. For example, in Croatia, employees start accruing vacation days during the first six months (prorated) and then receive the full number of days afterward. BambooHR does not currently support such specific configurations, which can be a significant drawback for organizations with similar requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?

BambooHR streamlines HR processes by automating administrative tasks, reducing manual paperwork, and minimizing errors. It empowers employees through a self-service portal, enabling them to manage their own information and requests, which lightens the HR workload. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BambooHR?

Easy to solve problems or questions - mostly next morning all is solved, due to time difference. but it is very handful. Excellent customer service!!! Very easy was to implement it! Excellent option for reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

Lateley there are some sistem errors, and it is not working all day, and all our HR life very depends on Bamboo data, and those particular day when we encountered the issues when bamboo hr is not responding - were when we had to enter newcomers in system, but all was solved the next day!

Maybe would be some more additional options for surveys - eNPS and Satisfaction survey reports - or more frequesnt system reminders, as we want that 100% completes all surveys. and maybe one more additional day for completion would be suitable, especially when there are system errors on that week... that reduces the completion rate very significantly.

What do you like best about BambooHR?

I like the automation, especially in the hiring section. It is so nice to not have to write emails over and over with prospective candidates and just use the templates that I've created. The new hire onboarding packet is super helpful too! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?

BambooHR makes recruiting and onboarding super easy. The employees always have access to their time off balances, so I no longer have to look up this info for them.

What do you like best about BambooHR?

Bamboo gives all of our employee access to their HR and payroll data on an app. Employees can manage their own updates. Onboarding is a breeze, posting jobs recruiting is seamless, and payroll is very easy to manage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

Updating the performance management module would be very helpful. It doesn't currently provide a great way to track progress on individual sub goals expect as a percentage of completed tasks. Having sliding scales and more intuitive tailored goal management would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our employees and management can access all of our HR and payroll data and processes all in one place. Employees can make changes to their own information easily and all information can be access via an app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BambooHR?

We have been using BambooHR for some time now, and it has significantly improved our HR processes, making them more efficient and user-friendly.

We highly recommend BambooHR to organizations looking to enhance their HR operations with a robust and user-friendly system. The customer support is very approachable, fast, and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BambooHR?

Preparing reports can be challenging without experience, and it takes time to understand how reports are generated and what data is necessary. Occasionally, we miss a report that shows salary information for a specific period (e.g., salary amounts for May 2020). This might be an area the product team is working on.

Additionally, as a German company, we cannot benefit from the payroll features and sometimes miss payroll-specific components. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?

The onboarding module has reduced our administrative workload by automating and streamlining the entire process. New hires can complete necessary paperwork and training modules online before their first day

The Hiring and ATS functionalities are very intuitive and adaptive - from posting job openings to tracking applicants through the hiring pipeline.

One of the biggest advantages we've experienced with BambooHR is the reduction in administrative tasks. The platform centralizes employee data, making it easily accessible and manageable. Routine tasks such as tracking time off, managing employee records, and generating reports are simplified. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that this software is so user friendly, I hardly ever have employees that cannot figure something out on their own with it.

The only downside to Bamboo for us is that it doesn't integrate with our accounting software, which is to no fault of BambooHR. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BambooHR solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's an all in one platform for us, which is great! I can submit payroll, track PTO and benefits and also onboard employees very quickly on the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
